September 10, 2022: Pasadena Buddhist Temple BWA

The Pasadena Buddhist Women's Association prepared a Beef Curry lunch for the Pasadena Nikkei Seniors monthly delivery.

The bingo was also offered online via Zoom.

Many thanks to the drivers who delivered the lunches to our seniors who are unable to drive on their own.
